Annual Fam Camping 2011

Annnnnd, we’re back! Hope everyone had a safe and splendid holiday weekend! Each year, my family gathers for camping over the 4th of July… and being full term with twins wasn’t going to keep me away! It’s not like sleeping on an air mattress in a tent for 4 days can possibly any more uncomfortable at this point than sleeping in my own bed… truly. And I’ve discovered the beauty of Tylenol PM. The new love of my life.

There was lots of fishing,

and canoeing,

and swimming! It felt so good just to float in the water and feel weightless.

My family has always been large (7 children!), and now having two sister-in-laws, a nephew and niece… things are getting wild and fun!

There were many trips to the bathroom.

Nick and I couldn’t help but think about how things will be so different next summer on the the 4th! The girls will be almost 1! And probably toddling around! Perhaps we shouldn’t have lakefront campsites then!

Mostly there was just a lot of hanging out. My birthday was on Sunday, and for a brief few moments at the nearby hospital… I thought I might be sharing my birthday with my two daughters. But my contractions were irregular and I’m only 1 cm dilated. So we continue to wait!

Was your weekend eventful?
